This invention relates to a holder.

An object of the invention is to provide a holder of the characterdescribed specially designed for attachment to the wall, or door,preferably the latter, of a toilet room for convenience as a receptaclefor articles such as purses, hand bags, gloves and the like which areusually carried about the person.

Toilet rooms, at the present time, are usually not equipped with aholder or receptacle for receiving such articles as above referred toand accordingly, while using the facilities of the toilet room, sucharticles usually carried about the person must be deposited on thefloor. The holder herein described has been provided as a convenient andsanitary depository for the purposes indicated.

It is another object of the invention to provide a holder of thecharacter described that is of light construction, may be cheaplyproduced, easily applied or detached and which will present anornamental appearance.

With the above and other objects in view the invention has particularrelation to certain novel features of construction, arrangement of partsand use, an example of which is given'in this specification andillustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein:

Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the holder as applied to the innerside of the door of a toilet stall.

Figure 2 shows a side elevation.

Figure 3 shows a front elevation,

Figure 4 shows a plan View, and

Figure 5 shows a perspective View of the holder, as applied to a wall.

Referring now more particularly to the drawing wherein like numerals ofreference designate the same parts in each of the figures, the numeral Idesignates the stall door of a toilet room to which the holder may beattached.

The numeral 2 designates the front wall of the holder which ispreferably of open work construction formed of stamped out metal. It ispreferably triangular in shape for easy access to the interior of theholder and is formed with a triangular marginal frame consisting of abase 3, an upright 4 and a diagonal bar 5, all integrally joinedtogether. The marginal frame members may be corrugated, if desired, forstifiness or otherwise stiffened as required. At the apexes of the framethere are the inwardly extended supporting legs 6, l, 8 of the requiredlength whose inner ends have the overturned feet as 9, ll], H to fitclosely against the inside sur face of the door, or wall through whichthe screws or bolts l2, l3, It may pass to secure the legs to the door,or wall.

The legs 8, l, have the inwardly turned lugs l5, l6 and supported on thelegs 6, 1, there is the bottom strip ll, preferably formed of open workconstruction and which may be riveted, or otherwise secured, to the lugsl5, H6. The bottom strip H extends out each way beyond the legs 8, l soas to give greater capacity to the holder and has its ends i8, i8upwardly turned as shown.

The holder is preferably formed of suitable sheet metal such as aluminumor the like but may be formed of any other selected material.

If desired the bottom strip ll may have the spaced depending flexiblearms l9, l9 provided with the grips 20 for engagement with the sides ofa conventional toilet paper box so as to anchor the holder more securelyin place, as shown in Figure 5.

The drawing and description disclose what is now considered to be apreferred form of the invention by way of illustration only, while thebroad principle of the invention will be defined by the appended claims.

What I claim is:
